Brian Solon
I partner with public figures and historical eyewitnesses to architect inspiring human arcs and redefine personal and cultural legacies. I work with executives to translate management philosophies into authoritative business literature ghostwriting a Wall Street Journal bestseller with a Fortune 500 CEO and thought leadership with a #1 New York Times bestselling author. I honor the authenticity of the author’s journey from diverse walks of life crafting and launching with premier imprint placement and global reach. I travel worldwide to collaborate with authors on exclusive engagements with complete creative immersion.
